How to attach an Excel file to an Email

[felixcaspari]

Alteryx Community,

I am trying to send an automated email w an excel attachment to certain stakeholders. However, when I run the workflow i get the following error message.

Any inside you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Felix

Hi @felixcaspari 

Referring back to the documentation for the email tool, the attachment section requires the file path of the document you are trying to attach

If your main workflow is configured the same as your attachment, then outputting the full path of the excel document should point the email tool to the attachment and send it as an attachment. 

Hope this helps

Hi @felixcaspari!

Will something like this work for you?

The Block Until Done tool allows the file to complete writing before it is picked up as an attachment in the email tool.

@ddiesel thank you, that solved the issue.
